Also, what's up with "2.1 surround sound + subwoofer"? Is 2.1 really 'surround'? Doesn't the 1 in 2.1 already imply that there's a subwoofer? I'm assuming there aren't two subs.
Here's my new addition...similar thought, but different implementation.

That thing is awesome - where did you get it and how much did it cost (if you don't mind me asking)? I'm making all sorts of mental notes for things I want to put in my finished basement and something like this is definitely on the list along with a regular refrigerator - I definitely don't need a kegerator and tap since I'm not a huge drinker but I want to have all sorts of beer available - and cold!

Along those lines......
;D Last week's project:
1/2 bbl ---> three 1/6 bbl conversion.
Made the tap handles & inserts myself using acrylic picture frames (and of course....wood).
Also made a tower cooler while I was at it.
HanoiBoi - Awesome cooler (and awesome selection)! Looks like it was made to go in that spot.

It wasn't the easiest to find. Most people I spoke to started the conversation with 'we don't sell residential'. One company came through for me though. Feel free to PM me for details. The unit I got is a little smaller than some because I was limited to the space I wanted it to fit (28"w x 24"d restrictions). The unit itself was about 1K. Add tax, casters, delivery, etc. and it was a couple hundred more. Oh...then you've got to fill it. :cheers:

Nice work on the kegerator. Mine has a built in shelf for the tank inside, so I could only go with a double tap as it's not worth it to mod.
Your tap markers look great. I really need to get/do something like that. Are your labels print outs? Can you change the labels on each?

Thanks! The space was certainly measured, measured and measured again. I had to slide a Pachinko machine out of there, but this is definitely an upgrade. You might be able to tell that I like me some IPA's. If you've got any favorites that you'd like suggest, I'm all ears. I only recently discovered that Racer 5... and it's delicious.

Oops, double post.
Oops, double post.
And I haven't even been in the cooler!

Mine has the tank inside also, in the back left corner. It's not really made to hold 3 sixtels, but if something might work, it really motivates me to try it.
The front two kegs are up on a 2x4 to get them to clear the lip at the bottom of the door, otherwise the door wouldn't close (but I knew this before I started since I very professionally worked it all out using paper plates :-\ ). The door closes solid though and the kegs probably have around 3/4" clearance inside the recess of the front door.
The labels on the tap handles are changeable. I spent Friday at work making labels using web images and ms paint :angel: ,
then printed them out on photo paper when I got home.
The picture frames are 2.25 x 3.25 fridge magnets from Michael's craft store ($2 each). Since they are standard wallet size, the stupid "windows photo printing helper" demon thing actually helps more than it hurts in this case. It allows printing of 9 different labels at once. To change a label, I just grab the sides of the front edge of the frame and bend it forward until I can reach in and swap labels. The back of the frame is glued into a recess routed into the tap handle.
(the router splintered the edge of the right one in a couple places)
